Reincarnation of the powerful minister

Chapter 429 The Best Chess Player

When Zhu Xian passed between the two rows of blood-eyed assassins standing straight, he was shuddered by the death and murderous aura.Those emotionless eyeballs stared straight at him, turning as he walked, it was a terrifying scene comparable to a nightmare.

And at the end of the corridor, neither the sky nor the light illuminated the corner, only the blood-red robe almost blended into the shadow cast by the stone wall, wrapped in a dark god whose face could not be seen clearly.

Zhu Xian stood still two feet away, took a deep breath, and said loudly: "I'm here to find the camp owner, and I want to ask for advice in private."

Shadow was silent, as if dismissive.

Zhu Xian gritted his teeth in secret, and said again: "Mr. He asked me to come. He said that even if the camp owner doesn't give me a little bit of favor for His Royal Highness, he still has to take care of Lord Yizhe's important affairs."

After a while, there was a slight chirp from the shadows, and a hoarse, indifferent voice, unidentifiable as male or female, said, "Stand back, all of you."

After receiving the order, the blood pupil assassins all turned around and left quickly.There were only two people left in the empty and dark room. Zhu Xian swallowed nervously and coughed: "Mr. He said that the camp owner of the Seven Killings can help me enter the capital. Although I have little friendship with the camp owner, After all, those who are in the same camp as Lord Chess Player can be regarded as comrades-in-arms, and I hope the camp master will give us some advice."

It feels bad to be in the dark. Zhu Xian tried to take two steps closer while talking, and finally saw the leader of the Seven Killers in a blood robe leaning on the back of the grand master's chair, supporting himself with his hands. The leg is on the armrest, and the other leg is stretched out to the ground in front of it.Such a rude posture not only showed the other party's unruliness, but also revealed an elusive evil spirit.

He thought that the other party would take the opportunity to take Joe, but the camp owner said simply: "I have a way, and there is more than one, but whether it will be successful or not depends on everyone's ability. How much appetite and how much food you have, don't worry about it." So full."

Zhu Xian endured the sarcasm in his words, and said: "You might as well talk about it, I will choose what is good."

"As long as you can open any one of the nine gates of the capital, you will win half. If you can step into the Forbidden City, you will win the other half."

"Who can open the door for me?"

"There are many. The empress dowager counts as one. She and Zhu Helin have always been hostile. When the crown prince succeeded to the throne, he almost knocked him down. Zhu Helin hated her, and only hindered the ethics of his grandparents, so he put her under house arrest. Now Zhu Helin Leaving the capital without a trace, does the Empress Dowager not have the ambition to revive? I don't believe it."

"I also heard that the Empress Dowager wanted to take the opportunity to call Yu Wang back to seize the big position. But unfortunately, Zhu Xu can't return to Beijing." Zhu Xian smiled with a little complacency, "Who told him not to have more children?" What about a son?"

"If King Yu can't come back, the Empress Dowager's next consideration must be to support the Second Prince Zhao, who is her own grandson, and he is young and easy to control."

"So, why is it not my turn? It seems that the way of the empress dowager will not work."

The camp owner laughed and said, "Why should I mention the road that doesn't work? That's why I said, your appetite is too small to swallow even a piece of cake."

Zhu Xian's face was half green and half white, he gritted his teeth and said, "Please give me some pointers."

"How Mr. Crane dealt with King Yu, you can also deal with the Empress Dowager. With Zhu Hezhao's life in your hands, will she open the door for you? The key to this road is that you have the ability to sneak into the capital and the palace, Kidnap Zhu Hezhao."

Zhu Xian thought about it, but shook his head helplessly: "It's as difficult as reaching the sky!"

"It's someone who is useless under your command." The camp owner continued to mock - if there is an expert like Jing Hongzhui serving you, where and who can't catch it?

Zhu Xian really wanted to retort: ​​"You can do it if you want?" But after thinking about it, the other party would sneer 100% "Treat me as a subordinate, I think you want to die", so he had to choke back, swallowed his anger and asked again: "How about you?" Is there another door opener?"

"Second, cabinet ministers. Yang Ting, the first assistant, is the best, followed by Yu Chezhi from the Ministry of War. However, if Xie Shiyan and Jiang Chunnian, the second assistants, insist on welcoming you into the city, it may not be impossible."

Zhu Xian frowned: "I have no friendship with these court elders, and I have never met them face to face. How can I persuade them to work for me? In terms of benefits, if King Yu or the Second Prince Zhao succeed to the throne, they will still be extremely powerful The elders of the court, I can't give them more if I succeed, so what can I use to win them over?"

"That means you have no bargaining chip in your hand. You can neither benefit nor intimidate people." The camp owner casually played with a copper awl between his fingers, thinking: Is it difficult?There is only one person who can do it. Advance can let Yang and Yu pave the way for him, and retreat can let Xie and Jiang help his sedan chair.Compared with him, you are nothing!No, not fart.

Zhu Xian seemed to sense the contempt of the other party, took several deep breaths, squeezed out from between his teeth: "Is there anyone else who opened the door?"

"The third one, Altan."

"Holy Khan of Beimo? How can an enemy chieftain open the door for me?"

"Use his cavalry saber and spear to break open the gate of the capital. When everyone in the harem and court is in danger and it is difficult to defend against a powerful enemy, you step forward to turn the tide and repel Altan, and naturally you can become the master of the great treasure by force."

Lead troops to fight?A barbarian like a wild beast?Really fight?Zhu Xian hissed in embarrassment, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "I have heard that Mr. Yizhe has a secret agreement with that Altan, and Mr. He is still the leader. Do you think it is possible? I will let Altan Tan come to cooperate with the show?"

This time the camp owner's laughter echoed in the dark room, making Zhu Xian want to pounce on him and smash his mask, and stuff copper pieces into his mouth—of course, he can only think about it.

The camp owner laughed enough, and mocked: "So Altan worked hard to send you to the dragon chair, and then returned to the grassland to continue herding sheep? Do you really think that you are a golden fairy descending from the earth, and you can enlighten the believers at will? "

Zhu Xian finally couldn't bear it anymore, and said angrily: "This will not work, and that will not work. In fact, you have nothing to do, right? It is said that you are the strongest seven-kill camp leader in history, but that's all!"

The camp owner suddenly stood up and took two steps closer.Zhu Xian was startled, backed back again and again before he stood still, his voice was all stern: "We're all on the same boat, what do you want to do?!"

"With your ability..." The camp owner snorted coldly, "Forget it, there is the last person to open the door, so it's perfect for you."

"Who is it? Don't be able to see it, it's out of reach!"

"Shen Qi."

Zhu Xian was stunned: "Who—you mean—Shen—the commander of the Jinyiwei?"

"The former commander." The battalion owner said flatly.

Zhu Xian's mind was confused for a few breaths, and he finally sorted out his thoughts a little bit: "Shen Qi did go to Mr. Yi Zhe, but I heard that he was not allowed to be reused, and he didn't know where he was assigned. Now there is almost no news about him. How could he do so? Door?"

"'I heard', who do you listen to, Mr. Crane?"

"Yes."

The camp owner showed a faint and weird smile: "Yes, Shen Qi is in decline, but the rotten boat also has three catties of nails. He was once the capital city's local snake, not to mention that he still has a lot of old friends, but Jiu He also knows where the defense is weak."

Zhu Xian pondered for a moment, then asked: "Where is Shen Qi now? Can you contact me as soon as possible?"

The camp leader said: "He sneaked into the capital a few days ago and waited for an opportunity to take revenge on the imperial court. If you want to borrow his power, write a piece of paper to meet at a time and place, and I can convey it for you.

Zhu Xian was suspicious: "What is your relationship with him, you can get in touch if you just say contact?"

"He is an ambitious person. If he wants to be reused, he will follow my path. Once he comes and goes, he will have some friendship. If you are worried, you can bring more people to the meeting, just to hide it from Yi Zhe and Mr. Crane."

"Why?"

"They are always afraid that their subordinates will form cliques. It is best for everyone to be the lone star of Tiansha, so that they can control them."

Zhu Xian thought for a while, and found that this is indeed the case. He heard that the Wang brothers played the banner of "building the dynasty and supporting the virtuous". With the mentality of secretly wooing him, he proposed to meet the Wang brothers, but Mr. He flatly refused. .From this point of view, Yi Zhe and Mr. He are not only on guard against him, but also against the Seven Kills camp leader, Shen Qi and other subordinates.

Looking at it now, apart from being a "son of the king of Xin" and a title of "the son of the king of Ning", he actually has no real power.

Why not just follow what the camp owner said, get in touch with Shen Qi, and see if he can cooperate with the higher position for the sake of past friendship and future interests, and get rid of Mr. He and the player who have other plans.When he becomes the new king, it will be easy to kill the donkey again.

Zhu Xian sighed: "But I can't hide it. The tens of thousands of horses I brought, apart from the soldiers of King Ning's Mansion, the rest are not the gangsters recruited by the Vacuum Sect, or the lunatics who defected after the defeat of Liao Crazy. Mahu Junyu, to be honest, although I am the commander in name, I may not be able to command them."

The camp leader said: "It depends on what you said to Mr. He. Just say... Altan's army stopped to rectify after arriving in Changping Prefecture, as if waiting for us to fight the Beijing army first, so that he could reap the benefits. We have to ask Altan to attack the city first and put pressure on the court, so that they will accept the vassal kings and we can take advantage of it. As for the matter of persuading Altan, I am afraid that only Mr. He can do it."

Zhu Xian clapped his hands: "I understand! First transfer Mr. He to Changping, even if it's only a short two-day journey, it's enough for me to contact Shen Qi and break through the nine gates of the capital."

The camp leader said: "His Royal Highness is quite clever and intelligent. If Mr. He is not around, the command power will fall into your hands. But be careful of King Ning. Although he is seriously ill, he is an authentic prince after all. A skinny camel is better than a horse." Big. You are right to hold him hostage, but you can't make him too sober."

"That's simple. Uncle needs to drink a lot of decoction every day. When the medical officer in the palace was making the medicine, I secretly manipulated him to pass out the medicine. It would be fine to take it with me as a shield when necessary."

The camp owner nodded: "All the methods are given to you. If you choose this one yourself, then you can do it yourself."

"——Battlemaster, what are you planning?" Zhu Xian asked abruptly.

The camp owner was slightly taken aback, and asked, "What does it have to do with you?"

"Oh, isn't it the same as me, trying to get back what should belong to me?" Zhu Xian remembered Mr. He's explanation, left a specious sentence, and walked away proudly with his hands behind his back.

The camp owner was silent for a long time in the darkness, and sneered: "What are you? Dare to say that he is a thing. A lifeless thing!"

After half an hour, a figure walked into the secret room and stood in front of the camp owner who was wiping the knife with a cotton cloth.The camp owner glanced at him and asked, "Are you worried?"

The chess player said: "I am at ease when you do things. Zhu Xian seems to have regained the royal demeanor that matches his blood, and his attacks are vicious enough. In fact, he is ruthless, and he is still the reckless and cowardly servant of the Su family in his heart." .If you tell him to take the lead, he will definitely push back, or even hinder you. But your method of alienation and temptation is clever, and you have exhausted the despicable selfishness of people's hearts."

The camp owner sneered slightly: "I'm telling the truth—you've never trusted anyone, Zhu Xian, me, or even Mr. He. Isn't it what you like to see your subordinates suspect and plot against each other?"

The chess player smiled and said: "Nine points of truth and one point of falsehood are the most touching. I also have a truth for you - I said that I will not move your weakness and send him to you intact, yes real."

"Can I trust you?"

"It's up to you to believe it or not. But today, it's like Cuju is only a step away, and there is absolutely no reason to hesitate. The bigger the event is, the more we must be extra cautious and step by step."

The host said: "You are one of the most chess-playing people I have ever met."

"one?"

"There is one more," the camp owner let out a creepy chuckle from under the mask, as if his resentment was hard to dissipate, and it slowly seeped out from under the tomb that had accumulated over the years, "it has already been buried in the imperial tomb."
